So somehow you encountering people who don't understand what a breakthrough infection is translates into me misattributing absurd concerns to conspiracy theories and liking Covid? It's an odd series of logic jumps.

Who told you that? You seem to have missed the conversation over the last 8 months about whether vaccines prevent infection or whether they reduce the likelihood of severe illness.

Why would a breakthrough infection be shocking? What do you think breakthrough means?

You couldn’t cite a single idea that I’ve referred to as a conspiracy theory that ultimately turned out to be real. What you’re doing here is a prime example of the same bloviating and awkward approach to argumentation that you usually take. You’re pretending to be right about something and accusing me of wanting to save face on a topic that you haven’t even bothered to identify. You can’t simply decide to change the meaning of words and pretend to call that an argument or a position.

…so serious question means troll?

You pulled the same unintelligible nonsense again. This isn’t about whether I like your post or about who you think likes me. You’re posting false information on a vaccine thread. This is unacceptable. There are other forums for you to go down a political rabbit hole of conspiracy theories.

?? Another unintelligible mishmash of incomplete thoughts and statements… If you rewrite it using complete sentences and make some effort to actually formulate a point or argument, I’ll hold your hand and walk you through whatever it is that’s troubling you.

Your friend can give you the account UN and PW and you can check it as often as you’d liked….

Wait, why are they grabbing your balls?

Over 1000 people are dying daily in the US from Covid. We have a ways to go….

12 wt?

The city is littered with people who feed raccoons, squirrels, and pigeons. And I’m not talking about the random parent who tosses out a couple of nuts so their kid can see a bird up close. These are people who bring down cans of cat food every single day and save up their bread crumbs to blanket the walls overlooking the park. Officials should dole out heavy fines or do something to disincentivize it.

A cool classic neuroscience experiment was done using silver foxes. I think you'll enjoy this fun review: https://evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12052-018-0090-x or https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/mans-new-best-friend-a-forgotten-russian-experiment-in-fox-domestication/ But also to highlight the importance of open scientific discourse, here you'll see a more recent study that brings some of the methodology into question: https://www.cell.com/trends/ecology-evolution/fulltext/S0169-5347(19)30302-7 or: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/03/science/foxes-tame-belyaev.html

Dude, you’re doing it wrong.. You gotta wear a bib!

Nicely done getting out in front of it…

I think my yellow highlighter is making the purple trace look orange.

As the days shorten and the sun sets earlier, deer too begin to move earlier in the day. Circadian rhythms (think of it as an intrinsic biological clocks in cells where gene expression and other cellular activities go up and down) cycle outside of external input. Specific circuits in the eye detect changes in ambient light and entrain (synchronize) these biological rhythms to light and dark cycles. You can see that dear activity (prominent in the evening peak) increases earlier as the seasons proceed from summer-fall-winter. This is consistent with the sun setting earlier through the seasonal progression.

Deer seems to be moving from 5pm to 8am during the winter. That leftward shift in the evening activity peaks tracks the creeping sunset time through the seasons and shows a beautiful indication of light entraining.

Sure seems that way looking at @Trial153’s plot. I’ll try to pull up the publication and look at the methodology. I’d like to see an actogram, not just distance traveled. For instance, does that plot show active/inactive phases or changes in the range size?

I never quite understood crepuscular attribution. The twilight window is pretty small. To say that an animal is crepuscular to me suggests that the diurnal and nocturnal periods represent comparable amount of activity or inactivity. But I don’t think this is true. Outside of the narrow twilight phase, aren’t deer simply more active at night than during the day time? There’s got to be tracking data looking at deer movement patterns. Are daytime and nighttime activity patterns actually the same?

If that’s all you know about the vaccine you must be sporting some serious blinders.

I don’t listen to doctors or politicians. I read the science and I value the opinion of scientists and epidemiologists who work on this.

He’s capturing the logic of some on this forum perfectly.
